State of the Dairy Nation 2024/25: DairyNZ Highlights Record Milk Production and Export Growth
DairyNZ's chief executive Campbell Parker says the 2024/25 dairy season reinforces the importance of the dairy sector to New Zealand.
A mate of the Hound's thinks it was more than a bit dodgy when DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel recently announced the director elections for the industry good body.
In van der Poel's news release calling for candidates to stand for the board, he happened to 'forget' to mention that current director Jacqueline Rowarth was re-standing - but did happen to name other directors who were standing again.
The Hound's mate wants to know if this was a genuine error or a deliberate mistake.
He reckons it might be more of the latter than the former and surmises that because Dr Rowarth is not shy about expressing her opinion on things, perhaps van der Poel's omission was not a mistake.
Now he may very well think that, but this old mutt could not possibly comment.
